How to take away primary membergroups for admins

(1/1)

♦PulsiveForums♦:
okay so i changed the original  Administrator admin group name to "Founder"
i wanna take away the ability to change there membergroup for the new administrator membergroup,any ideas?

Arantor:
Not without code changes.

It's really quite simple: if you do not trust your administrators not to abuse the system, DON'T MAKE THEM ADMINISTRATORS.

If you really really need more than yourself to be able to manage the forum, create an all new group called Administrators and use that. They won't be able to grant themselves the actual admin group.

♦PulsiveForums♦:
i already made a new membergroup thats the problem,it wont allow me to take there  permission to give themselves "Founder" as there primary group away

Arantor:
Um, assuming Founder is the proper group 1, once it's removed from their account, they can't put themselves back in it.

Group 1 is defined as a protected group. Only users in that group can give it or remove it from other people. Once they're not in that group, they can't put themselves back in it.
